gospel purity" work. On Dec. 6 Mrs. Z.

the Baptist Theological seminary at Nor

which she did. Dec 10 Mrs Bradley
spoke on the "White Cross. III Union
Signal.
One noteworthy incident should be
laid before all the young women in the
country. In one city a number of the
best and incest girls have banded together
in a noble resolve which it is hoped may
be shared and followed by every young
wOman's Union. What is it? Just this, that
during the winter they will not invite, or
accept invitations to meet at any enter
tainment in social life any of the many
young men who are known to live what
is called fast life. . Mrs. +. II. Brad

Miss Mary Saunders, who has been
teaching in the first grade of the Mad
isOn, to-day, took her place as primary
principal of the Monroe school, a lu-
cratiVe and responsible position. 1t is
rare that one is promoted to so respon.
sibie a position with so short a service.
and that fact makes her success still
more noticeable. We are heartily glad
of her good fortune.

The State Teachers Association had
two objects. One was, as a mutual
admiration society, to compliment
each other and have it put into the
papers, and by d judiciOus application
of taffy to the State Superintendent. to
secure his favor. The other object
was to work for d. D. Merrill & Co. in
the interest of his state text book
series, which was crowded upon the
people some years ago. Both items
of work were well done.
c. w. Youngmau is in poor health
and is closing up some branches of his

We had a very pleasant visit with

the Caldwell family, is noted for large,
warm, and true heart.
Miss Julia Youngman, formerly of
Ellsworth, who has been attending
school here for some time, is making
very good progress in her studies.
The regular monthly meeting of the
White Cross league. held at the Tenn
perance and Bethel rooms, was ad-
dressed by Prof. II. S. Baker. One of
the peculiar departures in yesterday s
services was the presence of many
ladies'. Heretofore the meetings were
for men only, but to this meeting Ia
dies were also invited. There were
about seventy people present. The
speaker believed That women were in
the front rank in all moral movements,
and why they should be excluded from
this movement he saw no good reason;
hence he wanted the ladies present,
for he intended to say nothing which
would cause women to blush. The
chief idea brought out was that when
and wherever local purity was properly
observed the nation prospered, but
Just as quick as immortality and disre-
spect for the purity of women crept in,
then it became only question of time
until the country went to ruin and de-
cay. The youth Of this city and land
should be taught social purity. They
are the hope of the nation, and it is
fearful thought TO think that more is
not being done to warn young men es-
pecially, before they get TO old, as
when evil habits once acquired and
not checked before reaching middle
life, are seldom abandoned.-Gto6s,

The holiday number of The West
Shore is the handsOmest that most
excellent western magazine has ever
issued. Many of its illustrations are
printed in five colors, and none of them
in less than three. They are highly
artistic, both in design and execution,
and are especially appropriate to the
season. An elegant, large engraving
of Mt. Hood, the famous snow peak of
the Cascade mountains, accompanies
the number as a special supplement.
1t is executed in eight colOrs and en-
bossed. and is by far the most beauti-
full reproduction of the grand scenery
of the West yet made by the printing
press. The literary features Of the
magazine are most excellent. The
holiday number and supplement will
be sent to any address upon receipt
of fifty cents 10y the publisher. They
will be sent free to all who subscribe
now for 1857. Subscription price

And she would have her own sweet way
AZ her merry eyes grew brighter;
80 she took hold, and he took hold,
And IL made the burden lighter.
And every day the oaken pail
Over the well-curb slipping,
Was upward drawn by hands OF Drawn,
Cool and 80 softly dripping.
And every day the burden seemed
Lighter by being divided;
For he took hold, and she took hold,
By the self-same spirit guided.
Til by and bye they learned TO lore
And each trust in the other,
Till she for him, one twilight dim,
Left father and left mother.
The wedding Bells we're rung at morn,
The bridal blessings given,
And now the pair, without care,
Entered an earthly heaven.
When storm and sunshine mingled, they
Would seldom trouble borrow,
And when Il came. they met the same
With bright hope of tomorrow.
And now they're ut the eve OF life,
While the western skies grow brighter
For she took hold, and he took hold,
And IL made the burden lighter.
